Everything on your car is perfect except for the color and the front end. 
Your wheels are THE ****. Size and specs? Man I wish I'd went with 17s instead of 16s.

That is one sexy car.
I just bought that same wing for my TII a few weeks back. Your pictures helped me see how much better it really is on the rx7
Wanna trade cars lol
I hope my 7 turns out looking that good when its finally finished....like 3 years from now.

Thanks ya'll! 
i got the wheels the same place where hurleysurf got his
the wheels were produced by a japanese co. that does most of it's business in europe. the brand is called ZAUBER. they are 17x8 +29 front and 17x9 rear +36... after the coilover install, i realize that i can have a more AGGRESSIVE offset. i think a 5-8mm spacer all around would do
the paint! LOL i can't believe i had it painted this color!! but i can live with it. i wanted to repaint it the stock mazda J5 (arctic silver), but the shop i was getting the work done at had the mazda J5 paint look like it was "gunmetal"
so i went ahead and tried to match the color myself and went with Strato blue pearl... ULTIMATELY i wanted a car that almost NO ONE would copy/have and i think the paint sealed the deal! 
and as far as trading goes, DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR CAR!! i've had my FC for almost 4 years and it is my FIRST and ONLY car! i wanted to give up sooooo many times, but i did not want to fail myself and just kept on keeping on instead.... look where i ended up!!
here's how it looked in 2005...
thanks again everyone!!

i agree it would look better with an OEM s5 style front facia, but to each their own. Have you wet sanded and buffed it yet? That would make it really shine.
Its a kaminari of some sort, not to many of them floating around.
They arent made anymore though sadly.
I think its the best spoiler for the FC body, not a fan of a 2 ft tall wing.....
I bought one a few weeks back that should be getting here soon....

Looks like you could have gone +27 out back thats about what i'll be doing. Nice setup it turned out great. The color is quite unique. It screams "i'm having a baby boy!".

LOL! "baby boy", "baby blue"? hey! the RE-Amemiya FD (touge monster) is baby blue! LOL, but the quality of it's paint is "bar-none"!
sigh... the color is really something. to be honest, i wasn't SURE SURE about the color. all i knew was that once the car was ONE color, it would look great. in my eyes, the car looks good, but i really feel that the shop i took it to coulda done WAYYYY BETTER job considering i spent over a grand...
as mentioned above, the paint would come out better if wet-sanded/color-sanded, and i mentioned that to the paint shop... BUT! they said it CANNOT be done because it has only one coat of paint
i honestly can't the next few years to have it painted again... and yet, have it DONE RIGHT!!
my cousin just got his DC2 back from a paint shop and TODAY we're going to snag some pics!!
thank you all!! you guys truly help keep the spirit alive!
